Frank Lampard’s Chelsea will face Newcastle United on Saturday.

Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles has told Sky Sports that his side can get the better of Chelsea this weekend.

Steve Bruce’s side will take on Chelsea away from home at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Ahead of the game, 25-year-old Lascelles has said that the Magpies can bag all three points in London.

The English defender – who earns £40,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – believes that although Chelsea have a young and energetic team, their lack of experience could help Newcastle.

Lascelles told Sky Sports: “Chelsea do have a young, energetic team but I’m not sure if they have much experience. I think we’ll have a good day, it’s obviously going to be tough with their quality and pace

“They have attacking players who can create and hurt you from nothing. “Experience is massive in football, the small things like running the game down, winning fouls.

“I do think we can get after them, they are not the biggest team either so maybe [we can exploit] set pieces. I do fancy ourselves.”

Beating Chelsea

Newcastle do have a good team, and they also won against Manchester United at St. James’ Park in the Premier League before the international break.

However, Chelsea are going strong under manager Frank Lampard and are actually doing better than expected.

The Stamford Bridge outfit are loving it at the moment, and they will be fully behind the young team, as they aim to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
